### Clone the repository
|
||||
cd /etc/tinc/
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/freifunk/icvpn.git
|
||||
cd icvpn
|
||||
cp scripts/post-merge .git/hooks/

### Create your tinc configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Open your favorite editor and create the /etc/tinc/icvpn/tinc.conf.
|

|

Name=entenhausen1
|
||||
Mode=switch
|
||||
More options can be found through
|
||||
man tinc.conf
|
||||
|
||||
# man tinc.conf
|
||||
Afterwards create a keypair with tincd.
|
||||
tincd -n icvpn -K
|
||||
|
||||
# tincd -n icvpn -K
|
||||
Hint: In version 1.1 this option was moved to the tinc binary and is called <code>generate-rsa-keys</code>.
|
||||
|
||||
### Execute post-merge hook
|
||||
|
||||
This step is necessary to populate your new configuration with infos about the metanodes.
|
||||
./git/hooks/post-merge

### Set up a cronjob to update the repository in regular intervals.
